I've got this digital copy using the KTSA Tulu lipi (not the Unicode version, unfortunately). If anyone is interested, I could share with them this book.

(Apologies for the invisible letters, if any, I am using a Tulu-Tigalari font, whose fallback font may have not yet been released on most devices.)
Excluding almost every letter, which shares its resemblance with the sister Malayalam script, these two letters seems to be foreign?
113B4 looks like flipped (11388, TULU-TIGALARI LETTER VOCALIC L) and also the Kannada equivalent ೞ (ZHA), but with a repha marker - just like र्म (RMA) in कर्म (KARMA)? If we go by the Kannada-specific voice, this sound is RZHA not RRA?
And where is 113B5 coming from? To me, it resembles a LA (Tulu-Tigalari - , Kannada - ಲ, Malayalam - ല, Telugu - ల) but with another one of those loops just at the end. But the Unicode page mentions the sounds as LLLA, and as you can see below, every LLLA sound is ZHA.
From the Malayalam unicode:
> 0D34 ഴ MALAYALAM LETTER LLLA = zha
From the Tamil unicode:
> 0BB4 ழ TAMIL LETTER LLLA
From the Kannada unicode:
> 0CDE ೞ KANNADA LETTER FA
> ※ KANNADA LETTER LLLA
> • obsolete historic letter
> • name is a mistake for LLLA
Which between (113B4, TULU-TIGALARI LETTER RRA) and (113B5, TULU-TIGALARI LETTER LLLA) is "ZHA"? Both of them? Or are there no "ZHA" at all?
Is the first one then RRA, just as mentioned, and LLLA a longer variant of the LLA?
Title says it all. Tulu Nadu is called "Vidyagiri" by non-locals - we have a lot of different types of educational infrastructure - there's way too many PUCs, undergrad and postgrad institutions - heck, we've even got a NIT in our region, but there's not a single person who wants to invest in this land? What the hell? Why does our youth have to move to Mumbai, Bengaluru or Chennai?
